My research and teaching focus on Korean literature and civilization. I am currently working on two projects: a book-length study on memory and space in post-Cold War Korean literature; and domesticity and travels by Colonial Korean women writers.
I am an associate professor of Korean Language and Literature at Washington University in St. Louis, with courtesy affiliations with the Department of Comparative Literature and Thought and Performing Arts Department.
My most recent works are the translation of Na Hye-sǒk’s travelogues and Korean Sinitic Poetry from Ancient Times to 1945: Si in the East (Brill, 2024). You can read parts of them on this website.
